If they are stealing from their customers by lying about a winning ticket that's another issue, but if they are cashing in tickets that are legal, then the lottery just has to live with it. For example, the gentleman that was shown on The Lottery Changed My Life. He owned a repa...

Remember the mother in Detroit who was denied welfare after claiming her million dollar lottery prize legitimately?

https://www.lotterypost.com/news/280490/3781235Tue, 16 Sep 2014 22:45:24 GMTRJOhIn Ohio claims of $600-$5000 only require a local retailer verify the winning ticket and a claim form be filled out and notarized before being taken to a local bank to collect the winnings.

https://www.lotterypost.com/news/280490/3780961Tue, 16 Sep 2014 19:09:35 GMTRJOhObviously the state understands that it's unlikely anyone can afford to spend hundreds a day on scratch-offs, pick-3, and pick-4 tickets and win more per dollars spent than $5 a week players, the odds of winning are the same for all.

The odds are pretty good that several LP members won't understand how the players spending hundreds a day on scratch-offs, pick-3, and pick-4 tickets will win more of the prizes than $5 a week player. The same people that can't understand how 70% of jackpot winners are QPs when 70% of the tickets sold are QPs...
